Definitions

• the invention relates to heat-sensitive recording materials, and more particularly to heat-sensitive recording materials capable of retaining recorded images for a long period of time.
• Heat-sensitive recording materials are well known which are adapted to form color images by thermally bringing a color forming material into contact with a color developing material which forms a color when reacted with the color forming material by contact. Since such heat-sensitive recording materials are relatively inexpensive and are recorded by a compact printing device with an easy maintenance, these materials are used for various purposes, e.g., as recording materials for a facsimile, calculator and the like. However, these recording materials are generally inferior in resistances to water, oils and plasticizers and have a disadvantage that the recorded images are markedly reduced in density when contacted with water, oils or plasticizers in a plastic film. Further, these recording materials are also low in resistance to organic solvents, and thus undesirable images are formed when an organic solvent contacts with a portion having no image.
• An object of the invention is to provide a heat-sensitive recording material which is capable of retaining images for a long period of time even under severe conditions and free from the sticking and like new defects.
• the present heat-sensitive recording material is characterized in that the resin is essentially composed of an acetoacetylated polyvinyl alcohol and/or a copolymer of vinyl alcohol, acrylonitrile and optionally an other copolymerizable monomer.
